Criminal Injuries & Terrorist Attacks

If you have been the victim of a violent or other criminal act and been injured you may be entitled to claim compensation through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA).

  • Every day innocent victims suffer all types of injuries through assaults, domestic violence, stabbings, shootings and other violent crimes, including terrorist attacks 
  • At SC Law our solicitors will go through the necessary steps and process in order to make a claim through the CICA, which is an organisation set up by the government 
  • Our lawyers will prepare your claim and advise you in detail on the scheme and how a payment is made and if you are entitled to any additional losses, such as for loss of earnings

Generally payments made by the CICA are in accordance with set tariffs. We will advise you in more detail once we have assessed your claim. Payment of our fees is also assessed differently to a civil claim. On contacting us, we will advise you of the options for payment of our fees under the CICA scheme.
